Description
Two affectionate rabbits sit beside a cylindrical holder, giving this compact SylvaC piece a character that combines animal modelling with a practical novelty form. The warm beige glaze and softly shaded features bring the rabbits and textured surface together without strong colour contrasts.
The impressed underside mark reads 1590 England SylvaC, identifying the maker, English origin and catalogue number. Number 1590 identifies the kissing-rabbits match holder, whose tree-bark effect provides a textured setting for the moulded animals. The contrast between the rounded figures and bark detail is central to the design. At 6 cm high and 10 cm wide, the piece suits a small display alongside other examples of British animal pottery. Related decorative forms appear in the Ceramics collection, while the impressed number provides a useful point of comparison for collectors researching this particular SylvaC model.
